Abstract: Facilitating assignment of root sequence index while minimizing network changes is provided herein. Operations of a system include determining an initial assignment of root sequence indexes for a group of network equipment. The operations can also include evaluating the initial assignment for first assignments that satisfy a defined criterion and second assignments that fail to satisfy the defined criterion. Based on the defined criterion, the operations can include updating the second assignments, resulting in updated second assignments. Further, the operations can include determining a revised assignment of root sequence indexes for the group of network equipment, wherein the revised assignment comprises the first assignments and the updated second assignments.

Abstract: Structural health monitoring (“SHM”) methods, apparatus and techniques involve building deformation fields maps (amplitude and phase related to excitation) on the surface of the structural component under monitoring based on a network of strain measurements by fiber Bragg grating sensors.

Abstract: A device for laser drilling, having: (a) a laser module (310), having a plurality of laser subsystems (200), each one of the laser subsystems (200) having an active optical fiber (240), wound in a shape of hollow coil and packaged inside a hollow cylindrical box (210), and at least one diode laser (220) mechanically connected perpendicularly to the hollow cylindrical box (210) and optically coupled to the core of the active optical fiber (240) wound and packaged inside the hollow cylindrical box (210), the laser module (310) having a tubular shape allowing cooling and drilling fluids to flow through the concentric hollow cores of the tubular laser module (310) and of the cylindrical box (210); and (b) an optical drill head (100), the optical drill head having an end (130) with orifices (110 and 120), and a body (140).

Abstract: Ginga IBB applies to any Broadcast service (terrestrial TV, satellite TV, cable TV, IPTV) where the TV receivers are connected not only to a broadcast channel, but also to a broadband channel, from where multimedia applications can get more content to enrich end user experience in linear and non-linear TV services.

Abstract: Fiber optic position transducer that includes a magnetic or electromagnetic element, one or more segments of magnetostrictive material, Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors, a rod of material that is impenetrable to magnetic fields, optical fiber. One or more of the sensors is fixed upon a segment of magnetostrictive material, which is fixed to a rod, and may only be displaced longitudinally. The Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors have different wave lengths and are made of the same optical fiber. The magnetic or electromagnetic element included may be made of NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron) or metal alloys of TbDyFe (Terbium, Dysprosium and Iron), such as TX, Terphenol-D and others. It is applied to a control flow valve in an oil well, and it also refers to the calibration process of the position of the transducer.
